I just returned
from Spain. I spent 37 days walking the Camino de Santiago, 500 hundred miles
from St. Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

During my trek I
often enjoyed Spanish Tortilla for breakfast. The potato and egg omelet was a
great way to begin a day of walking. Below is a recipe for Spanish Tortilla and
I have enjoyed making it since my return. Great way to start a day of writing!

Spanish Tortilla

Ingredients:

•6-7
medium potatoes, peeled

•1 cup of
shredded cheese (use cheddar, jack or a mixture)

•1 whole
yellow onion

•5-6
large eggs

•2 cups
of olive oil for pan frying (I cut way back on the oil)

Salt to taste

Slice the potatoes to 1/8 inch thick

Chop the onions

In a non-stick pan, sauté potatoes and onions in oil on medium
to low heat. You want to cook the potatoes until a spatula breaks the slices in
two.

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add cooked potatoes and onion,
and the cheese. Mix, coating the potatoes.

Add olive oil to non-stick pan, then add potatoes, egg and
cheese mixture. Cook on medium to low heat. You want the bottom of the tortilla
to brown, leaving the top still runny.

Once the tortilla has browned, you have to flip the tortilla. I
using slide the tortilla onto a plate and invert the pan over it to flip the
tortilla. Cook until golden brown. Take the pan off the heat and let the
tortilla rest for two minutes.

Slide the tortilla onto a plate and cut like a pie to serve.

Variations: Add chopped green onion, green peppers or ham.

In Spain the tortilla is often served with a slice of baguette.

At home, I serve with salsa.

There are many recipes for Spanish Tortilla available on the
internet.

Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver, where we travel to
fictional worlds to interview fascinating and sexy characters.

Today I’m in a simply furnished apartment on the planet
Pixie in the Silver Iris Galaxy. It belongs to Wyatt, who is currently employed
by the entrepreneur Benton Skies.

Wyatt captains a space shuttle owned by Skies’ company.
They are currently involved in exploring Earth.

Tall and lean with thick red hair, Wyatt spent twelve
years in the military where he also specialized in Earth exploration. Despite
his reserved, soft spoken manner, he emanates vigor and the intensity of his
green eyes reveals that he’s a man of passion.

I know he’s busy, so I jump into the interview.

SBD: Thank you for talking to us, Wyatt. I understand
you’ve recently returned from a trip to Earth. Can you discuss the details?

Wyatt: Our mission is to study human behavior to
decide whether we might someday want to interbreed with them.

That concerns me
a little. I hadn’t expected such a straightforward reply.

SBD: Should the
people of Earth be concerned?

Wyatt: Not at all. I admit that Pixie has a violent
past, but we’ve developed as a people and our leaders wouldn’t condone any kind
of enslavement of another species. At the present time those in power have no
interest in breeding with humans, since they believe humans are not quite
advanced enough for us. Still, in the future we’re hoping for a possible
friendship with Earth.

SBD: It might be true that your leaders have no interest
in breeding with humans at the moment, but I’ve heard you became romantically
involved with someone on your recent visit. Is that the truth or just a rumor?

Wyatt: [Studies me with those intense eyes for a
moment.] It’s true. A woman named Zoey saved my life after I crashed on
Earth.

SBD: She pulled
you out of the wreck?

Wyatt: [Grins] No. Pixiens have to mate once a
month or else our inner heat will burn us alive. We’ve learned to control this
through medication when necessary, but we usually satisfy our cravings with an
assigned relief partner. Marriage is very unusual on Pixie. When I crashed on
Earth, my medication was destroyed and I had to mate to survive, but I would
never take an unwilling partner. Zoey was quite willing.

SBD: Would you describe Zoey in three words?

Wyatt: Compassionate. Stubborn. Inquisitive.

SBD: You’re back here on Pixie now and Zoey is still on
Earth. Is there a chance of you two getting together again?

Wyatt: Definitely. I plan on returning to her as soon
as I can and I hope that she’ll still be interested.

I can’t see how she wouldn’t be. Wyatt is such a
cutie!

SBD: Would you share one of your favorite excerpts from
Combustion 1: In Heat?

Wyatt: Oh yes.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

One moment she was comforting him and the next they
were kissing passionately.

“Don’t stop, Wyatt,” she breathed. “Please don’t stop
this time.”

“Zoey,” he whispered against her lips and kissed her
again. This time he stood, lifting her in his arms.

She didn’t protest as he carried her to the bedroom
and placed her on the bed. She stared as he unzipped his pants. He wore black
briefs beneath and they did very little to hide his big, aroused cock.

He kicked off his shoes and pants. While he removed
his socks, Zoey slipped off her high-heeled sandals and wiggled out of her
dress.

Lying in bed wearing only her bra and panties, she
gazed at him with all the lust she felt.

He sat on the bed and tugged off her panties, sliding
them down her legs. Tossing them aside, he leaned forward and kissed her inner
thighs.

Zoey unfastened her bra and shrugged out of it.

Stretching out beside her on the bed, Wyatt cupped
her face and kissed her. Their tongues met and she moaned softly.

After denying the drives of her body for so long, she
was ready to cut loose.

Thank you, Wyatt! I wish I could stay longer, but the
Book Diver magic is calling me back to my world.

Zoey, check out

** It's back to school time, and everyone's hitting the books hard. But you
can only study so hard before you start to crack up. Luckily, your tutor/study
partner/lab partner is SMOKING HOT! But can you be sure he/she is really giving
you the eye, and what are you going to do about it? **

Now that it's September, the weather will be getting cooler, the kids will be returning to school, and warm, scrumptious meals will entice our taste buds.Here's a recipe I love to make that I found from a Taste of Home magazine. Personally, I like to make the sauce, divide it and use it at later dates for serving over spaghetti, making baked ziti or meatball sandwiches. Making the meatballs are, of course, optional. Enjoy!Spaghetti Sauce and MeatballsIngredients for the Sauce:
